Should the government use tariff revenue to directly support Canadian workers and businesses affected by U.S. trade actions?

As of April 2025, Canada collects significant revenue from its 25% tariffs on U.S. goods. The government has pledged to support affected workers and businesses, but opinions differ on whether this should target specific sectors, benefit all Canadians, or address broader fiscal priorities.

No

Yes, but distribute it broadly to all taxpayers

Yes, and focus funds on industries hit hardest by tariffs

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3 days3D

No, it’s better to lower taxes than redirect tariff funds

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3 days3D

No, the revenue should reduce national debt instead

Yes, but focus on supporting specific businesses and services impacted rather than entire industries

Yes, and no. Some funds should go to the people and businesses most affected and some should go to the national debt .
